I feel the same way.
I am making progress with help but I have a lomggggg way to go before I'm a proper person. And I worry I will never get there.
I used to work in a warehouse that stored swimming pools with pictures of normal proper people on the boxes, I think very few people make it to have the perfect life like these smug lucky bastards. I used to stare at these boxes thinking maybe, one day.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
